Our occupiers say…

As a chemical solutions provider we have a broad range of services that we undertake for our clients and therefore our laboratory requirements are multifaceted. At Hexagon Tower we have been able to produce a state-of-the-art facility that allows us to continue to achieve our business objectives and focus on offering the best services to our broad range of clients.

Trimega Laboratories have new state-of-the-art laboratories based at Hexagon Tower that were purpose built in 2010 and have recently been extended. Hexagon Tower offers a good location, an onsite gym, canteen and car parking facilities, making it an ideal location for our business & our employees.

Our research and development into Performance Coatings requires a diverse range of equipment in the process of manufacturing our products. Our laboratory at Hexagon Tower allows us to use complex machines that can be easily and flexibly installed on site to match our specific requirements within advanced R&D, and help us to meet our objectives in delivering the best products we can.

With its long history as a specialist science and technology facility Hexagon Tower was the optimum solution for Lonza’s Microbial Control and Industrial Solutions regional Technical Service group. The access to resources and amenities available at Hexagon Tower meet our specific requirements for research and development facilities. Also, being part of the newly launched BEST Network cluster will potentially provide us with added value in terms of offering us support and shared opportunities.”
